Inflation rates tell us how much money is worth over time. If prices go up, your dollar buys less, like when a candy bar used to cost 1 but now costs2. This can make everyday things more expensive and affect the whole economy.
Examples
- A toy that cost
5 last year now costs7 - Rent went up by $100 a month
- Grocery bags are more expensive than before
